The present invention is directed to a plug for connecting capillaries. The plug comprises at least one capillary tube (20) comprising at least one first inner diameter (21) and an open end section. Moreover, at least one generally plug-shaped sealing (30) comprises at least one second inner diameter (31). The sealing has a first end section (32) of generally convex shape and/or flat face adapted to seal the end section (22) of the capillary tube (20) when connected. The sealing (30) can additionally or optionally comprise at least one second inner diameter (31) being at least in part larger than the first inner diameter (21) of the capillary tube (20) when the sealing is in an uncompressed state. Additionally or alternatively the sealing can comprise at least one second inner diameter (31) being at least in part larger than the first inner diameter (21) of the capillary tube (20) when the sealing is in an uncompressed state. Further, there is at least one pressure piece (40) that is adapted to exert at least axial pressure and/or force to at least a part of the sealing (30) towards a second end section (33) of the sealing (30) oriented opposite to the first end section (32) of the sealing (30). The pressure piece (40) is adapted to host at least the first end section (32) of the sealing (30) in an aperture (41) in abutment with the end section of the capillary tube (20) so that the first inner diameter (21) of the capillary tube (20) and the second inner diameter (31) of the sealing (30) are aligned.
